Ball Bearing? Basic Transmission Questions.
I just bought an ex hyrdo transmission from a friend of mines, and everything looks good. Ive never worked with a hydraulic transmission due to owning purely ef's, but Im not sure what to look for in order to see what condition the transmission is in.
Well to start off, I spun the spine (where the throwout bearing sits, but I did not receive one with the transmission) and as I am doing this, I can hear a lil popping noise inside of the transmission case. It kind of sounds like a little metal ball or a bearing of some sort that seems to be bouncing around in there.
Is this something normal in a hydro tranny?? Or am I just tripping?
I ask this, because I cannot afford any setbacks at this moment, and when I put together the engine and tranny for the swap, I want to get it done with as little issues as possible.
What are signs to see if a transmission is good or not? I am totally in the unknown when it comes to hydraulic. any help is appreciated. Thanks

The shaft for the throwout bearing? There is no bearing on there at this moment. I plan on getting one with a clutch kit. Can that be the cause of the noise?
